CXVI.

Justice. Justitia.

[Illustration]

_Justice_, 1. is painted, sitting on a _square stone_, 2. for she ought to be immoveable; _Justitia_, 1. pingitur, sedens in _lapide quadrato_, 2. nam decet esse immobilis; with _hood-winked eyes_, 3. that she may not respect persons; _stopping the left ear_, 4. to be reserved for the other party; _obvelatis oculis_, 3. ad non respiciendum personas; _claudens aurem sinistram_, 4. reservandam alteri parti;

Holding in her right Hand a _Sword_, 5. and a _Bridle_, 6. to punish and restrain evil men; Tenens dextrâ _Gladium_, 5. & _Frænum_, 6. ad puniendum & coërcendum malos;

Besides, _a pair of Balances_, 7. in the _right Scale_, 8. whereof _Deserts_, and in the _left_, 9. _Rewards_ being put, Præterea, _Stateram_, 7. cujus _dextræ Lanci_, 8. _Merita_, _Sinistræ_, 9. _Præmia_ imposita, are made even one with another, and so good Men are incited to virtue, as it were with _Spurs_, 10. sibi invicem exequantur, atque ita boni incitantur ad virtutem, ceu _Calcaribus_, 10.

In _Bargains_, 11. let Men deal candidly, let them stand to their _Covenants_ and _Promises_; In _Contractibus_, 11. candidè agatur: stetur _Pactis_ & _Promissis_; let _that which is given one to keep_, and _that which is lent_, be restored: _Depositum_, & _Mutuum_, reddantur: let no man be _pillaged_, 12. or _hurt_, 13. let every one have his own: these are the precepts of Justice. nemo _expiletur_, 12. aut _lædatur_, 13. suum cuique tribuatur: hæc sunt præcepta Justitiæ.

Such things as these are forbidden in _God’s 5th._ and _7th._ _Cammandment_, and deservedly punish’d on the _Gallows_ and the _Wheel_, 14. Talia prohibentur, _quinto_ & _septimo Dei_ _Præcepto_, & merito puniuntur _Cruce_ ac _Rotâ_, 14.
